VZ used to be an exporter of food. It’s been an importer of about 2/3 of its food for years now, shortly after the start of the Glorious Communist Populist Elected Stupidity.

They’re tight with Cuber, right?

I wonder if Baraq’s embrace of the Castros is partly to help out Venezuela?

The founders of this nation were absolutely correct. You cannot let everyone vote. You *MUST* restrict the vote to taxpayers and landowners.

Where we have gone wrong is letting the non-contributors have a vote. It's like two wolves and a sheep voting on dinner.

Venezuela has (or had) price controls on food. If McDonalds cannot purchase potatoes at a price that is below what it can sell the fries for, then they will choose to not do so. Pretty basic, if you ask me.
